Rachel the Bald Eagle Chick!

It sounds like the eagle chick may have hatched earlier than I thought. Patti Steinman, nature educator extraordinaire, thinks the chicklet may have hatched on the 50th anniversary of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring ( http://www.rachelcarson.org/ )! I suggest we name the new addition to the nursery Rachel, after Rachel Carson!
Furthermore, I know that we have global warming and habitat loss to contend with but I think someone should write a book called Loud Spring, honoring all the incredible things that have happened in conservation since Rachel wrote her world-changing book. I don’t know about you but spring this year was a cacophony of frogs, toads, and birds. Way to go, both Rachels!

About John Body

I live in Western Massachusetts, in the incredibly beautiful Connecticut River Valley. I've been hiking, kayaking, and tracking wildlife throughout the Valley with lots of photos and videos that people may like to see. Whenever I travel I also take my cameras just in case I see great scenery or wildlife. My passion is wildlife conservation so I try to attend wildlife workshops and land preservation events (Habitat, Habitat, Habitat!). When I get a chance, I videotape the experts, they're just so knowledgeable and inspiring. I hope you enjoy my posts.
